This Defense Intelligence Agency file number 405389, dated January 8, 1989, was electronically transmitted to Ms. Heather Wade (hostess of the radio program Midnight in the Desert) on June 13, 2017 by individuals known to her who apparently wish to remain anonymous, at least for the time being. Careful inspection of these documents reveals that every point disclosed by both Major Jesse A. Marcel, Sr. and his son, Dr. (Col.) Jesse A. Marcel, Jr. concerning their involvement in the 1947 Roswell UFO crash and retrieval is well corroborated within the text of these pages.

If it can be proven that these documents are genuine (as they certainly appear to be), then there can be no doubt that much of what has heretofore been labeled as "lore" surrounding the reality of the UFO phenomenon, the details surrounding the Roswell and Aztec, NM UFO crashes and retrievals, the existence of the Majestic 12 group, and the ongoing USAPS (Unacknowledged Special Access Programs) extant within Military-Industrial-Complex and involved in the reverse-engineering of these and other extraterrestrial spacecraft are, in fact, REAL! Having known Dr. Marcel as both a medical colleague and a friend I have never had any doubts about the veracity of his (and his father's) claims that "The Roswell Incident" was in fact the crash and recovery of an ET UFO.
